Father-daughter alumni build community through family business

If you’ve seen the stacked letters outside the Lincoln Children’s Zoo or the floral dome at Lincoln’s Sunken Gardens, you’ve seen the work of TMCO. TMCO, a Lincoln-based contract manufacturing company, has left physical marks around the city, but leaders also have built a legacy of supporting its people. Founded by University of Nebraska–Lincoln alumnus Roland Temme and now headed by his daughter and fellow alumna, current TMCO CEO Diane Temme Stinton, the business has maintained strong roots in the community. “There’s a lot of local pride in what we do,” Temme Stinton said. “For us it creates a lot of significance that it’s not just about making stuff, it’s about building a community.” Temme, originally from Wayne, Nebraska, returned to Nebraska following his time in the Army and several years working with engineering companies around the country. He started TMCO in 1974 after earning his degree in business administration in 1969.
